Pico's 900 Theses 

Pico's 900 Theses  http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/pico/ 

STG lead(s): Giovanna Roz, Carole Mah, Paul Caton

STG marked up the Latin text in XML, using the TEI guidelines, and added a provision for a group of scholars to annotate it. Originally this system was developed to work on the Tomcat framework using JSP. However, we have since converted it to run with PHP and MySQL for the annotations, and XML and XSLT for the textual components. 

As part of his work publishing and using digital texts in Medieval and Renaissance Italian, Massimo Riva is working on a digital version of the 900 Theses of Pico de la Mirandola ("Conclusiones Nongentae publicae disputandae" (900 Theses), Rome 1486). These will be published in Latin and English, and will have an annotation feature available to scholars who are working on Pico. The project is also an experiment in collaborative scholarship for critical electronic editions of texts in general.
